Fiala is shifty and likes to hold onto the puck like Zegras so a Fiala-Turcotte-Kaliyev line may work stylistically. Problem is Fialas best game came on the Danault line last game so I bet Todd wants to keep that one together for now. So now you run into the mishmash of a 3rd line that ends up caving and Todd starts putting Lizotte as a 3rd line like we saw last game and last season. Lizotte line has been good but its better to have the best 4th line in the league rather than a mediocre 3rd line.I agree with all of that. If PLD is out, play Fiala on line one with Kopitar and Kempe. Play either Turcotte or Byfield at center. I always assumed Turcotte would slide to wing and Byfield would play center, but the organization has done the exact opposite. I don't really care, I would just love to see Turcotte and Kaliyev get another chance together. They were electric in the WJC with Zegras. See if we can make some magic there.
Fiala - Kopitar - Kempe
Turcotte - Byfield - Kaliyev
Moore - Danault - Laferriere
